Some child. bright and normal, natural when they are with friends of thelr own age, will bo uncomfortable and appear almost sulky in the pres. ence of grown-ups, especially if vot known to them, They do not "shine" at parties. The very worst thing the mothor ot a ehy child can do ls.to say "Why can't you talk to people like Mary does? She's not shy. She does not git in-a corner. and never say anything." That makes a shy baby all tho more conscious of his shy ness, Mother should help him to forget it by ignoring it completely. it she reminds him of it continually, he gets the impression in his baby mind that he is something differ ent from other children and he be- comes more self-conscious than ever. 3 GIVE THEM A CHANCE Some mothers will not even give iheir children a chance. Before any grown-up talks fo them: they will point. out that "John fs shy, yoa know." This is no way to conquer a child's fear of strangers. The thing to do is to create a friendly atmosphere, and to draw out young John in a natural way, That is done by trying to make him talk about his own childish world rather -than by expecting him to be sympathetic to grown-up conversation, De Gaulle in London Gen Charles de Gaulle, head of the French National Committee in London, shown leaving his headquarters.

When on vacation at a re- sort hotel, is it all right to speak to the persons who eat regularly at your table? 2. What salutation should one use in a formal social letter? 3. Is it customary to serve «ream with after-dinner coffee? 4. When playing cards for a worth-while prize, and one's part- ner makes an inexcusable blund- er, isn't one justified in showing a certain amount of irritability? 5. When a guest is refusing a certain dish that is passed, isn't it rude for this guest to say, "Beans (or whatever it is) do not agree with me"? 6. Is "Bye-bye" an acceptable form of taking leave? Answers 1. Yes, by all means do so. Your vacation will not be necarviy as enjoyable if-you do not. 2. "My dear Mrs. Watson," or; "My dear Mr. Young." This is more formal than "Dear Mrs. Watson," and "Dear Mr. Young." 3. It is not. customary to do so. 4. Never, A good sportsman is always self- posséssed and patient. 5. Yes, it is both rude and unnecessary. In fact, the guest should take a small portion. 6. "Good-bye" is preferable, - Checkers In Braille Mr. F. H.

'A study of the sleep habils of 50 women who had recovered from slight mental or behavior disturb. ances and who did not complain of insomnia, were observed for three months {n an observation hospital and reported by Dr. Louis J. Kar- nosh, Cleveland, in the Journal of tho American Medical Association, The period of sleep varied from 612 to 8 hours. Age, temperament and diet did not seem to influence the amount or degree of sleep. "On the other hand, excitement due to visits by relatives, argu- 'ments or disagreements with other patients or atendants, and holidays with the emotion or excitement that occurs at these times, were de- finitely to blame for breaking the regular rhythms of sleep." Mentality "Can't Take It" This shows that ft is the ner- vous or mentdl side of us that just "can't take it," blows or disturbanec- es and pot so much the physical disturbances that prevent us from sleeping, What is the best method of bringing on sleep?
